Clove have confirmed they have received stock of the Black Z1 and are shipping all pre-orders out today.
They have enough stock to complete all pre-orders.
Those who ordered through Clove will receive an email NLT 6pm this evening informing you your phone is out for delivery.

Pre ordered mine on announcement date with EE. Arrived yesterday with UKMail. EE have messed up a bit with regards to the upgrade but in fairness I didn't expect to see the phone until end of week and on Monday UKmail text me saying would be with me next day.

Interesting.....
Orders placed with Clove which also have the free Smart Watch have the watches on back order to be delivered automatically at no extra cost or anything further from the buyer at the end of the month.
